Top Grate

Four Latches

Perch Handle

Bottom Grate

Bottom Tray

Rope Perch

Two Cupholders

Two Cups

Metal Lever & Install Screw & Spring

Bottle of Touch-up Paint

Cage Assembly:

On the bottom interior of both the FRONT and BACK PANELS there are two small prongs jutting up. Take the FRONT PANEL and either of the two SIDE PANELS and insert the hollow square tube at the bottom of the SIDE PANEL onto the top of one of the prongs.

Once that has been done you can insert the small arm at the top interior of the FRONT PANEL into the sleeve located on the interior of the SIDE PANEL you have been working with. While holding the FRONT PANEL and SIDE PANEL together, take the BACK PANEL and insert the second hollow square tube on the bottom of the SIDE PANEL you have been working with onto the corresponding BACK PANEL lower prong.

Once that has been done you can insert the small arm at the top interior of the BACK PANEL into the sleeve located on the interior of the SIDE PANEL you have been working with. With 3 of the PANELS now connected, take the remaining SIDE PANEL and hook each of the bottom hollow square tubes on the SIDE PANEL into the corresponding FRONT PANEL and BACK PANEL prongs.

Once that has been done you can insert the small arms at the top interior of the FRONT and BACK PANELS into the sleeves located on the interior of this second SIDE PANEL you have been working with.

After the four primary panels are together, take the TOP GRATE with its four pairs of "feet" facing downward, and fit the four pairs of feet into the square tubes at the top of the four PANELS.

Unscrew the balls on the LATCHES so that they are completely separated from the long portion of the LATCH. Take the long portion of the LATCH with the spring on the right side and insert it into any of the latch housings. Hold the LATCH inside the housing until you can see the threaded hole where the ball should be screwed in. Take the ball and screw it back into the threaded hole. Repeat for the other three LATCHES.

To attach the PERCH HANDLE, align it so that its connector pieces are facing downward and are in the center of the TOP GRATE. The PERCH HANDLE is attached by slipping the connector piece's round hole over the screw on the center of each side panel. PLEASE NOTE: There are two positions the PERCH HANDLE can be used in. When carrying/picking up the POQUITO by its PERCH HANDLE, the PERCH HANDLE slides upward in the connector so that the cage can be safely carried without separating from the cage. When the cage is immobile and the PERCH HANDLE is used as a play area, the PERCH HANDLE should be pushed downward so that it "locks." This allows your bird to sit on top of it without the PERCH HANDLE moving around.

Take the BOTTOM GRATE and slide it into the upper rail tracks.

Take the BOTTOM TRAY and slide it into the lower rail tracks.

Install the ROPE PERCH by unscrewing both ends of it, fitting the small slots on each exposed end of the ROPE PERCH in between any bar on the cage and then re-screwing the ends of the ROPE PERCH back on to it, but via the exterior of the cage.

Install the CUPHOLDERS by fitting the four "feet" on the CUPHOLDERS into the four hollow tubes on the interior of the SIDE PANEL w/TWO DOORS.

Install the CUPS by opening the food doors and sliding the CUPS into the CUPHOLDERS.

Assemble the METAL LEVER, and its installation SCREW and SPRING. Take the SCREW, fit the METAL LEVER over/onto it, and then fit the SPRING over the SCREW as well. When it is one complete piece, then screw the entire METAL LEVER assembly into the hole on the lower part of the FRONT PANEL. The METAL LEVER, when it is in the "Down" position, is designed to hold the BOTTOM TRAY and BOTTOM GRATE in place. When the BOTTOM TRAY and BOTTOM GRATE need to be removed, simply push the METAL LEVER to the side.

Puts my mind at ease!
My parrotlet stays in this cage when we take him on trips, and he likes it! There's lots of room for him to move around, and its so secure that I know he's safe. It is a bit heavy, as others have said, but it's solid. I'm so glad that I purchased it!

the ultimate travel & sleeping cage
The Poquito Avian Hotel is the best travel and sleeping cage around. It is made from sturdy iron and covered in non-toxic lead and zinc free powder coated paint.
Strong and safe. Perfect for boarding at the vet. Perfect for night time. All my birds have their own Poquito Avian Hotel. Yes, it is slightly heavy to carry around but your parrot/bird is 100% safe physically.
The brand is: Midwest Avian Adventures
This brand was recommended by my avian vet because this company has zinc and lead free cages! Zinc and lead is one of the main silent killers in domestic bird pets. Be careful of what brand of cage you purchase. Extremely cheap cages usually contain zinc and/or lead in their paint.
Highly recommend the Midwest Avian Adventures Poquito Avian Hotel !!!!

A Wonderful Sleep and Travel Cage
I ordered this about a month ago for my green cheeked conure to sleep in nightly and to take him on vacations with us. It is an incredibly sturdy and well made cage. I do not worry about my bird's safety around my two hunting dogs and cat when he is in it. It is a perfect size for him to use nightly for sleep and was sufficiently roomy for a week long stay full time for a bird his size. I love the handle which doubles as a perch and that the catch tray can be easily used when he is out and on the perch playing with me. This cage is pricey but the quality and features make it worth every penny!

convenient for trips and boarding
This is a good travel or boarding cage. the bottom tray slides out too easily so you need to secure it when you pick up the cage. Not a good cage for transporting to and from a veterinarian because it is heavy.

Yes. I travel with my African Grey using the Midwest Avian Adventures Poquito Avian Hotel. One short-length large Booda Comfy Perch can fit nicely in the cage as well as about 3 small toys. There is room to move around and stretch his wings. Of course it helps if the bird is entertained during the trip with people talking to him/her. Your African Grey will be perfectly safe and comfy.

My fiance and I will be moving about 1100 miles at the end of August, and will be driving. We have 7 cockatiels, which will need to fit in the back seat of our little Saturn. How many can fit comfortably in one of these for the duration of a 2 day drive?

Answers

The Poquito Avian Hotel is made of iron. It is covered with non-toxic powder coated paint that is free from zinc or lead. My avian vet recommends this brand (Midwest Avian Adventures) since they have had their brand of cages tested for any traces of zinc or lead.

100% safe for your parrot/bird. Sturdy and strong cage. Slightly heavy to carry around but makes the perfect night time cage and visits to the vet.
